Christmas Gifts 2013 – Hot Chocolate Sticks

One year I took the Glam Tinies skiing, it was the first time for us all; I wanted the holiday to be perfect. The hotel was close to the lifts and the restaurant served a wonderful selection of Italian food. The bar of the hotel was packed by late afternoon with gently steaming customers, half dressed for a day on the slopes and half dressed for an evening with friends. At the back of the bar was a glass bowl with constantly churning thick, dark chocolate. This was unlike any hot chocolate I’d had before, almost solid, rich and creamy. These Hot Chocolate Sticks are the closest to the intense flavour of that special, warming, welcome drink

Oh my goodness, what a lovely idea! We bought some of these in Young, NSW, after we tried them in a cafe… they were sooooooo yummy, but very $$$$. I like the idea of making them! Thank you for sharing, and season’s eatings to you and yours GG. xo
